Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"Sorry, I've been weird since just now..."

Fatty Jinqu couldn't help asking: "Who is this young man? I always feel familiar..."

Next to him, Sanzhong narrowed his eyes: "Could it be the famous Kido detective?"

"That's right!" Ayumi said boldly, "Brother Kido is a famous detective who can solve any case, if you steal the scroll, you should admit it quickly!"

"Ah?" The fat man stammered profusely with sweat, "Even if that's the case, I really didn't steal the painting!"

"But only uncle is the most suspected, and there is no alibi!" Mitsuhiko turned to Gao Cheng with a positive expression, "Right, Brother Kido?"

Gao Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.

"Mr. Jin Qu is indeed the most suspicious person, but the prisoner should not be him..."

"Ah? Isn't it?" Mitsuhiko looked disappointed, "Who exactly stole the scroll?"

Gao Cheng looked at the silent old woman, paused, and said under the gaze of everyone: "There are two doubts. Although the living room and bedroom have been flipped, the flipped positions are not high. If they are slightly higher, they will not be moved." But... the other thing is these Girl's Day dolls."

"What happened to the doll?"

"Look carefully, is there any change from what was placed before?"

Gao Cheng took the camera and called up the photos he had taken earlier.

"The positions of the emperor and empress are reversed, and the positions of the other 13 dolls are also somewhat different..."

"Really, really!" Ayumi and the others leaned in front of the camera screen.

"So?" Xiao Ai looked at the wall next to where the scroll was originally hung, "You want to say that the prisoner accidentally bumped into the shelf when taking the scroll and knocked off the doll, and then put the doll by mistake when he rearranged it?"

"I see!" Mitsuhiko said excitedly, "The prisoner is someone who doesn't know how to put dolls, so it's obviously Mr. Jinqu. He said that he has no daughter so he is not interested in dolls..."

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "The only thing wrong is the position of the emperor and empress. If you want to rearrange so many dolls within a few minutes, it is impossible for people who are not familiar with it... In fact,

The positions of the emperor and empress are just different from before, I don’t know if there is a mistake, maybe it’s another arrangement..."

"Brother Kido is right," Conan interjected, "This kind of arrangement should be the traditional one in Kyoto, right, old woman?"

The old man closed his eyes lightly: "There are indeed many people in Kyoto who behave like this..."

The wild housewife looked at the old man worriedly: "Mom..."

"Hey, hey," the fat man said in surprise, "could it be that the old lady is really the prisoner?"

"It's not a prisoner," Gao Cheng continued, "but the one who hid the scroll is indeed the old lady...Mr. Mie is an expert. He can tell that these are dolls from Kyoto, and he obviously knows the traditional way of placing them. However, he and Mrs. Guan Ye has seen Ayumi's arrangement, there is no need to change it specially, and they don't have time to do these things, the only one who can do it is an old lady who directs and acts by herself..."

"Where is that scroll?" Jin Qu looked confusedly at the doll stand on the seven steps, "How could the old lady knock down this platform?"

Gao Cheng didn't answer directly: "Take all these dolls away first... The dolls are not actually the reason why the mother-in-law will rearrange the dolls because they were knocked over while running away. You can know by removing the red felt..."

"this is……"

Jin Qu and the others helped to remove the dolls, and after lifting the red carpet on the steps, they were all startled by the scrolls spread out and hidden under the red carpet.

"So it's like this, it's hard to see the painting without removing all the dolls... How do you know?"

"This is because the doll placed on the thin scroll wood leans slightly forward. The thick scroll wood can be placed on top and covered with red felt, but the thin scroll wood can't..."

Gao Cheng silently looked at the silent old man: "But it's still hard to detect. My mother-in-law probably wants to wait for the police to come and search, and then secretly put away the dolls while they are packing up."

"But," Guan Ye looked at the hanging scrolls spread out on the shelf, "how could mom do such a thing..."

Jin Qu nana said: "Could it be that old lady, do you really want to pretend that the scroll was stolen to defraud the insurance money?"

"I wouldn't do that kind of damn thing..."

The old man was even older, looking at the Thunder God hanging scroll quietly: "Because this scroll is the patron saint of Guan Ye's family, I did this to hide it, and I will talk about it when my son comes back to take a look... Guan Ye I can no longer repeat my past mistakes..."

"mistake?"

"The other scroll of Fengshen collected by Mr. Jin Qu is actually the same as the scroll of Thunder God. It was found in the warehouse of my husband's house, but when my son and his wife got married and had no money to buy a house, I sold Fengshen. Tell my husband on the company trip..."

The old man put his hands behind his back and said melancholy: "Who knew that the passenger ship my husband was on sank, and the typhoon they encountered was as if blown by the wind god..."

Jin Qu's tongue trembled: "Then, that scroll of Fengshen being cursed?"

"There is no curse," the old man shook his head, "isn't it often like this? The doll is placed next to the child's pillow to eliminate bad luck. Perhaps these two paintings also bear the disaster that befalls us on our behalf. ...So please don't interfere with this Thor painting scroll, we won't sell it."

"Uh...haha," Jin Qu waved his hands profusely in sweat, "It's enough for me to have Fengshen, just pretend I didn't say..."

Hearing this, the old man let go of his worries, took a silent look in the room, and turned to Gao Chengdao: "Detective Chenghu, I have caused you trouble, take me to the police station now..."

"Why are you going to the police station?" Gao Cheng shook his head and smiled, "Grandma is just joking, and besides, I'm not a policeman, just a passer-by detective who wants to drink some sweet wine... I'm hungry after staying for so long gone."

The old man froze for a moment, and parted the creases on his face: "I'll cook for you right away."

...

At the stairs on the 6th floor, Xiao Ai folded her arms and leaned gently on the side like a little adult, with a sentimental smile on her face.

The afterglow of the setting sun is facing the steps, and through the French windows, you can see the sunset glow of the whole sky. The houses and streets are dyed red, like a world of blood.

How many times can I see this sad color...

"Sometimes the sunset is also very beautiful, right?" Gao Cheng walked under the reflection of the setting sun and looked at the sky, "Xiao Ai, Ayumi didn't want those Dolls for Girls' Day, or..."

Xiao Ai turned her head away: "No, I'm not a child anymore."

Ayumi came over with a camera and Genta, and when she saw Gaocheng and Xiaoai standing under the sunset, she pursed her lips and said, "Brother Kido, classmate Haibara, let's take another photo together."

"it's here?"
